FOCUS
The present construction boom offers opportunities for all businesses operating in the Middle East,
from materials suppliers to contractors and service providers. The government is keen to promote
local firms, but it realises outside expertise will also be needed to help it achieve its many goals.
Qatar is open for business.
A construction boom is gathering pace that will see Qatar gain a $35bn integrated transport
system, with high-speed rail lines, light rail networks and a metro, which will enable travel around
the country and to neighbouring states. A major overhaul of roads and highways is also under way,
and the downtown area of Doha is getting a $5.5bn facelift. A series of mixed-use real estate
developments are moving ahead and the drainage and sewage system is being revamped and
extended in Doha.
In order to host the Fifa tournament in 2022, nine stadiums are planned to be built and three
existing sports venues are due to be upgraded. Dozens of hotels and resorts are also in the pipeline
to accommodate visiting football fans.
The biggest sectors among the top megaprojects are transport and construction, with projects
including the $45bn Lusail development and the $35bn Qatar Integrated Rail Project among the
largest. At the same time, investment is still being ploughed into projects to expand the country’s
industrial base, with several petrochemicals plants planned at Ras Laffan Industrial City in the north
of Qatar. Other schemes are already nearing completion, such as Hamad International airport. In
total, $223bn-worth of projects are planned or under way in the country.

UPDATE
P. E.P.C.
PROJECT EXPORTS PROMOTION COUNCIL OF INDIA (PEPC)
India is a country with large and diverse infrastructure sector. The Government of India recognized the
imperative need for the infrastructure sector and takes several initiatives like Committee of
Infrastructure, National Highway Development Project (NHDP), National Maritime Development
Programme (NMDP), Tax Holidays etc for the development and promotion of the sector. In the recent
years, there has been several improvements in sectors like roads & highways, ports, railways and
airports, the policy and regulatory framework is already in place and investment in infrastructure has
risen considerably however there are still significant gaps that need to be bridged.
With a view to create a platform for all the stakeholders and for the conclusive growth & development of
the Infrastructure sector, PEPC works with the Central and Foreign
Governments, National &
International development organizations like World Bank, Asian Development Bank etc, Government
Agencies, and various other stakeholders to promote the Project exports.
PEPC discusses policy, regulatory and procedural issues with its members, industry experts etc. and
advice appropriate reforms to the government for the development of the project exports. For making
conducive business environment PEPC highlights encumbrances being faced by the industry players in the
process of development of the sector and interacts with various national / international agencies for
making feasible measures to overcome those encumbrances.
PEPC supports the Government in its efforts towards projecting the project exports. It act as a reference
point for investors (Domestic & International) interested in the sector and provide information related to
government guidelines, investment opportunities, government & development agencies (which are
involved in the development process of the sector).
For promotion of the sector PEPC works proactively and suggests necessary procedures during the
process of policy formation, budgetary allocation, forming legal framework etc. by the government. To
maintain smooth progress PEPC also insist government to make essential provision for timely upgradation
of the policies on the basis of regular feedback from its members and industry players.
PEPC organizes several investment promotion programmes, conferences, seminars, workshops, etc on
regular basis for facilitating interaction between various government agencies, international bodies,
industry players and its members that provide prospects to raises issues pertaining to the sector and
exchange ideas. These networking events provide a platform to share thoughts, explore business
opportunities among the varied stakeholders of the project sector. These measures help to analyse the
present developments and identifies the ways to overcome the constraint of the sector.
PROJECT EXPORTS
Project Exports from India commenced with a modest beginning in the late 1970s. Since then, project
exports have evolved over the years, with Indian companies demonstrating capabilities and expertise
spanning a wide range of sectors. The nature of Project Exports being undertaken reflects the
technological maturity and industrial capabilities in the country. Project exports are broadly divided into
four categories:




Civil construction
Turnkey modules
Consultancy services
Supplies, primarily of capital goods and industrial manufactures
Each of the above are explained here:
3
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
Civil construction projects
Construction projects involve civil works, steel structural work, erection of utility equipment and include
projects for building dams, bridges, airports, railway lines, roads and bridges, apartments, office
complexes, hospitals, hotels, and desalination plants.
Turnkey projects
Turnkey projects involve supply of equipment along with related services and cover activities from the
conception stage to the commissioning of a project. Typical examples of turnkey projects are: supply,
erection and commissioning of boilers, power plants, transmission lines, sub-stations, plants for
manufacture of cement, sugar, textiles and chemicals.
Consultancy services
Services contracts, involving provision of know-how, skills, personnel and training are categorised as
consultancy projects. Typical examples of services contracts are: project implementation services,
management contracts for industrial plants, hospitals, hotels, oil exploration, charter hire of rigs and
locomotives, supervision of erection of plants, CAD/ CAM solutions in software exports, finance and
accounting systems.
Supply contracts
Supply contracts involve primarily export of capital goods and industrial manufactures. Typical examples
of supply contracts are: supply of stainless steel slabs and ferro-chrome manufacturing equipments,
diesel generators, pumps and compressors.
Project export contracts are generally of high value and exporters undertaking them are required to offer
competitive credit terms to be able to secure orders from foreign buyers in the face of stiff international
competition. Exim Bank plays a pivotal role in promoting and financing Indian companies in the execution
of projects. It has been closely associated with the growth of project exports from India by way of
providing finance, information and business advisory services. The bank supports Indian companies at all
stages of the project cycle from advance tender information, guidance in preparation of competitive bids
to providing financial facilities, including loans and guarantees. It extends funded and non-funded
facilities for overseas industrial turnkey projects, civil construction contracts, as well as technical and
consultancy service contracts. Exim Bank has in place a specialised cell to provide advance information to
Indian companies on projects being funded by multilateral funding agencies in various countries. Over
the past two decades, increasing number of projects have been executed by Indian companies in North
Africa, West Asia, South & South East Asia, CIS and Latin America.
The Reserve Bank of India has simplified the procedures for project and service exports, such as
deployment of temporary cash surpluses and inter-project transfer of machinery and funds. These
measures, first announced in the Mid-Term Review of Annual Policy Statement for 2006-07, will provide
more flexibility to exporters. The RBI said that the measures were subject to monitoring by banks.
Exporters will now be allowed to use the machinery or equipment used for a turnkey or construction
abroad, for executing a contract in another country. Currently, exporters are required to dispose of the
equipment, machinery, vehicles purchased abroad or arrange their import into India after completion of
the contracts. If it has to be used for another overseas project, the market value should be recovered
from the second project. Under the modified procedures, the RBI has permitted exporters to deploy their
temporary cash surpluses, generated outside India, in instruments such as deposits with overseas
branches or subsidiaries of a bank in India, a triple `A' rate short term paper abroad, including treasury
bills and other monetary instruments with a maturity or remaining maturity of one year or less. Now,
exporters are required to approach the RBI for overseas deployment of their temporary cash surpluses.
The apex bank has also permitted exporters to open, maintain and operate one or more foreign currency
account in a currency of their choice with inter-project transferability of funds in any currency or country.

Iraq is the world’s third-largest oil exporter. It has the available natural, human and financial resources
to fulfil ambitions to hugely increase oil production. The obstacles however are significant: political,
logistical, legal, regulatory, financial, lack of security and sufficient skilled labour. For example according
to the IEA in 2011, grid electricity could meet only 55% of demand.
There are contracts in place already but will Iraq’s energy ambitions be realised?
Iraq Energy Projects will bring forth the challenges, risks and investment opportunities throughout the
complete integrated energy and utilities supply chain, with 7 dedicated streams on: Upstream,
Midstream, Downstream, Power, Water, Finance & Risk, Investor and Contractor Challenges.

SENIOR MANAGER PROCUREMENT
Design, construction, management, operation and capital financing of a 1,500-2,250 MW
Combined Cycle Gas Turbine project in Dairut of Egypt
The Government of Egypt (“GoE”) has embarked on a major program to expand and improve its public
infrastructure through Public Private Partnerships (“PPPs”). For this purpose, the GoE via the Ministry of
Electricity and Energy ("MoEE") and its main power utility, the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company
(“EEHC”), wishes to increase electricity supply in the country through private sector participation under an
Independent Power Producer (IPP) program. One element of the new IPP program is the design,
construction, management, operation and capital financing of a 1,500-2,250 MW Combined Cycle Gas
Turbine project in Dairut located in the Delta region by the private sector under a Build-Own-Operate
("BOO") scheme (the “Project”).
The Project was formally launched with EEHC retaining the International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) as
Lead and Financial Advisor in 2010. The Project agreements are in near final form. The GoE, has recently
received a financing from the Arab Financing Facility for Infrastructure (AFFI) and intends to apply part of
the proceeds of this financing to hire a Technical Consultant to finalize the technical and environmental due
diligence as well as provide technical support during the tendering of the Project.
The Arab Financing Facility for Infrastructure (AFFI) is a partnership of the World Bank (IBRD), IFC and
Islamic Development Bank (IDB). The Technical Assistance Facility (TAF), one of the components of AFFI,
provides awareness raising, enabling environment and transaction advisory services to governments to
assist in preparing PPP projects.
The IDB, on behalf of the TAF, now invites eligible consulting firms to indicate their interest in providing
these services. Interested consultants must provide information indicating that they are qualified to perform
the services (brochures, description of similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, general

Khatlon Water and North Tajik Water II Rehabilitation Projects – Stakeholder Participation
Programmes, Tajikistan
Borrower/Bid No: 38327 and 38326
Invitation for expressions of interest
Assignment Description:
The Khujand Water Supply Improvement Programme Phase I (signed 2004) and Phase II (signed 2008)
pioneered the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the EBRD or the Bank) approach to
water supply projects in Tajikistan with small loans paired with large capital grants to address
affordability issues in municipal service provision. The South Tajik Water Rehabilitation Project was
signed in May 2009, the North Tajik Water Rehabilitation Project in November 2010, and the Central Tajik
Water Rehabilitation Project in November 2011. These projects are now under implementation. The Tajik
Government has asked the Bank to prepare additional water supply improvement projects for financing
(the Projects), i.e. the North Tajik Water II Project including the cities of Istravshan, Panzhakent,
Shakhriston and Zafarobod, and the Khatlon Water Rehabilitation Project covering two cities in the
Khatlon Province in the South, Isaev and Yovon.
The objectives of both Projects are to: (i) rehabilitate the water supply system and, where applicable,
allow selected wastewater improvements; (ii) improve billing and collection efficiency; and (iii) improve
financial and operational management.
The participating water companies (the Companies) are owned by the SUE “Khojagii Manziliu Kommunali”
(the Client or KMK), a state owned holding company responsible for the delivery of basic municipal
services such as water supply and wastewater services.
KMK is now seeking to engage a team of experts (the Consultant) to provide technical assistance in the
design and implementation of the Stakeholder Participation Programme (the Assignment or the SPPs).
The Consultant is asked to implement SPPs, aimed at enhancing public ownership by encouraging water
conservation, increasing public participation in the provision of water services (service quality,
rehabilitation activities, tariffs integrating poverty and social issues) and raising public awareness on
issues related to the project implementation and water use through establishment of the Water Users
Committees (WUC). Furthermore, the SPPs will integrate poverty and social issues into the proposed
tariff reforms and thereby assist the Companies to improve their corporate governance. Additionally, the
68
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
SPPs will raise awareness about water borne disease, which is a significant problem, particularly in this
area. Finally, SPPs implementation will also include assistance to the Companies in finalisation and
implementation of the Stakeholder Engagement Plans (SEP) developed during the Feasibility Study
phase.
SPP preparation should take into account (and build upon) the draft SEPs developed during the Feasibility
Study exercise, with the purpose to finalise SEPs and to make sure that the water companies implement
them accordingly prior to construction.
The services of the Consultant should consist, but not limited to:
-- Raise customer awareness through education campaigns (identification of information needs,
information campaign)
-- Facilitation of dialogue between clients and the Companies (creation of and support to Water User
Committees (WUCs), creation of an Advisory Committee comprising all major stakeholders, encouraging
transparency in decision-making, sustainability of dialogue)
The Consultant shall select an approach, which will ensure that the dialogue continues after the
termination of this Assignment. This will certainly include identification and training of the stakeholder(s)
taking over the tasks initially carried out by the Consultant, such as facilitation of meetings.
Status of Selection Process: Interested firms or group of firms are hereby invited to submit expressions
of interest.
Assignment Start Date and Duration: The Assignment is expected to start in the Q2 of 2013 and has an
estimated overall duration of two years (24 months).
Maximum Budget available for the Assignment: USD 520,000 (exclusive of VAT).
The Consultant must determine whether any indirect taxes/VAT are chargeable on the proposed services
and state the basis for such. If any indirect taxes/VAT are payable, the Client will have to pay indirect
taxes/VAT element to the services directly to the Consultant unless otherwise agreed.
Funding Source: EU Investment Facility for Central Asia and the Early Transition Countries Fund
Eligibility: There are no eligibility restrictions
Consultant Profile: Corporate services are required. The Consultant will be a firm or a group of firms with
experience in the water sector in implementing the key activities of this Assignment.
It is expected that short time input by key international experts be combined with local/regional expert
input. The local/regional experts would secure presence in the field and continuity.
The Consultant Team would likely comprise the following expertise and some individuals may fulfil more
than one role: (i) Project Manager/SPP Expert; (ii) local SPP experts.
Submission Requirements: In order to determine the capability and experience of Consultants to be

Saudi Binladin submits low bid for multi-billion Mecca project
25 February 2013, By Colin Foreman
Contractor competes with four other bidders
The Saudi Binladin Group (SBG) has submitted the lowest bid for the contract to build the Abraj Kudai
mixed-use development in Mecca.
The local contractor submitted a price of SR13bn for the project, which involves building 12 towers
ranging in height from 30 to 45 storeys. SBG’s price is about 19 per cent lower than the price of SR16bn
submitted by the second lowest bidder, the local El-Seif Engineering & Construction. The other bidders
are Athens-based Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) at SR18bn, Nesma & Partners Construction
at SR19bn, and the local ABV Rock at SR21bn.
The towers will be built on top of a large podium and three basement floors. The two 45-storey towers
will be built at the centre of the development and will have a single dome structure topping both
buildings. The other 10 towers will be 30 storeys high and will be built around the two central buildings.
Altogether, the towers will have 10,150 residential units and hotel rooms. The podium will have a bus
station, shopping mall, restaurants, food courts, a conference centre and car parks. The total built-up
area of the development is 1.5 million square metres.
The development will be built in the Manafia area in central Mecca, 1.7 kilometres away from the Grand
Mosque. The 64,000-square-metre plot is next to Ajyad road in the east, and the Kudai and Birka tunnels
to the west.
The project is the latest major real estate project to be tendered in Mecca. According to regional projects
tracker MEED Projects, there are $2.6bn of real estate construction contracts currently being tendered in
the Mecca Province.
In December last year, the joint venture of Lebanon’s Arabian Construction Company (ACC) and the
UAE’s Drake & Scull International was awarded the estimated SR2.7bn ($720m) contract to build phase
three of the Jabal Omar Development in Mecca.
In March last year, a joint venture of the local Saudi Arabian Baytur Construction Company and the local
Azmeel Contracting & Construction Corporation was awarded an estimated SR1.49bn contract to build the
second phase of the Jabal Omar scheme. The local Nesma & Partners Construction is currently working
on the first phase of the development.
The Jabal Omar Development will consist of 37 towers when completed.

Joint venture wins Saudi sports complex deal
24 February 2013, By Andrew Roscoe
South Korean and local contractor joint venture will build sports hall and athletics stadium in Jeddah
A joint venture of South Korea’s Hyundai Engineering & Construction and the local El-Seif Engineering
Contracting Company has been awarded an estimated $130m contract by Saudi Aramco to build sports
facilities at the King Abdullah Sports City development near Jeddah.
The joint venture has been appointed to build an indoor sports hall with a seating capacity of 10,000 and
an outdoor athletics stadium with a sectator capacity for 1,000 people.
The sporting facilities will be built adjacent to the 60,000-seat King Abdullah Sports City stadium, for
which a joint venture of Belgium’s Six Construct and the local Al-Muhaidib Trading & Contracting
Establishment was awarded a SR2bn ($533m) contract to build in September 2011.
The sports city scheme is being developed on behalf of the government by state oil major Saudi Aramco.
UK-based Arup is the consultant on the scheme.
When King Abdullah Sports City was approved by King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al-Saud in February 2009,
it was planned to cover an area of 9 square kilometres, 60km north of Jeddah alongside the MeccaMedina highway. The original plans were for a 100,000-seat stadium and several other sporting venues
and structures, including an indoor arena, grand mosque and outdoor athletics stadium, sports academy
and aquatic centre among other structures. The project was downsized in late 2010.
Metito wins Iraq wastewater plant contract
24 February 2013, By Andrew Roscoe
UAE firm will build and supply equipment for wastewater treatment plant in the Najaf governorate
The UAE’s Metito has been awarded a $6.8m contract to design and build a wastewater treatment plant
in the area south of Kufa, Iraq.
The UAE firm will design and build the wastewater treatment plant and will supply all of the mechanical
and electrical equipment. The plant will have a capacity of 50,000 cubic metres per day. The client for the
project is F&B Investment, which is overseeing the scheme for the Najaf governorate.
TUV Rheinland wins Riyadh monorail contract
21 February 2013, By Rebecca Spong
Riyadh monorail scheme has faced several delays
German technical services provider TUV Rheinland has been awarded the contract as the independent
competent person (ICP) for the monorail being built in Riyadh’s King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD).
77
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
The contract was awarded by the Saudi Arabian Construction Company Saudi Oger after TUV Rheinland
beat off competition from UK companies Atkins and Interfleet.
The role involves ensuring the monorail is safe to operate. The ICP reports to the Saudi Railways
Commission (SRC), and its assessment will form part of the SRC’s decision as to whether to grant the
railway operating and safety licences.
TUV Rheinland has won similar contracts in Saudi Arabia, having worked on the Al-Mashaar metro project
in Mecca in 2011.
Saudi Oger is the contractor responsible for the full turnkey construction of the monorail, after been
awarded the contract by the Rayadah Investment Company in April 2010.
The project has run into several delays since then. Construction has been held up by about 12-18 months
and the monorail will not be operational for another 39 months. The delay has partly been put down to
technical civil works issues involving the construction of network that will run through a number of
buildings.
The rail link will provide key transport connections within the KAFD development, which includes new
office blocks, mosques, public spaces, hotels and a museum.
In June 2010, KEO International Consultants were awarded the contract to design the 3.5km monorail
route comprising elevated rail viaducts, switch bridges and 131 piers. In the same year, Canada’s
Bombardier Transportation signed a contract with Saudi Oger to supply, install, operate and maintain the
monorail system.
The contract covers the supply of six of its Innovia Monorail 300 trains, all fitted with driverless
technology. The operation and maintenance services will cover an initial contract period of 10 years.
Dubai awards Dar Wasl construction contract
11 February 2013, By Colin Foreman
The mixed-use development will be built next to Safa Park
Local developer Wasl has awarded the estimated $60m contract to build a new mixed-use development in
Dubai to the local Al-Oroba Contracting Company.
The Dar Wasl project is located on Al-Wasl road near to Safa Park. The project involves building a
residential block with 112 units, 166 villas and commercial areas on about 6,000 square metres of land.
Other facilities include a health club and swimming pool.
Once complete, the development will be close to the extended Dubai Creek that will run from Business
Bay, under Shaikh Zayed road, past Safa Park and onto the Gulf.
Contractors are currently preparing to submit bids on 5 March for the first phase of the Creek extension
works. The estimated AED1.5bn-2.5bn ($409m-681m) contract is being tendered by the Roads &
Transport Authority.

Arabtec frontrunner for more Abu Dhabi work
17 February 2013, By Colin Foreman
Contractor expected win deal to build the Fairmont hotel in UAE capital
The local Arabtec Construction is the frontrunner for the contract to build the Fairmont Hotel and Serviced
Apartments in Abu Dhabi.
The local National Investment Corporation is developing the scheme that involves building a 39-storey
tower housing 563 guestrooms, 144 serviced apartment units, 105 other apartments, 13 food and
beverage outlets, ballroom and conference rooms, a swimming pool and sporting facilities. There will be
underground and ground-level parking for 1,300 vehicles. The total built-up area is 160,000 square
metres.
The project manager is Australia’s Confluence. The cost and contracts consultant is the local Williams
International Group. The design consultant and architect of record is the local Dewan Architects &
Engineers. The construction supervision consultant is Lebanon’s Khatib & Alami.
Arabtec is becoming a dominant force in Abu Dhabi. In January, it won the estimated AED2.4bn ($653m)
main construction for the long-delayed Louvre Abu Dhabi museum on Saadiyat Island as part of a joint
venture with Spain’s Constructora San Jose and Oger Abu Dhabi.
Last year, it secured the AED10.55bn contract to build the Midfield Terminal Building at Abu Dhabi
International airport as part of a joint venture with Turkey’s TAV and Athens-based CCC
Petrofac wins $515m contract on Sarb offshore development
5 February 2013, By Mark Watts
London-based contractor awarded Abu Dhabi upstream project’s third package ahead of seven bidders
The UK’s Petrofac has been awarded a $515m contract for a package on Abu Dhabi’s Satah al-Razboot
(Sarb) offshore oil field development, according to sources close to the bidding process.
The third package on the Sarb project, which was tendered by Abu Dhabi Marine Operation Company
(Adma-Opco), covers the development’s offshore pipelines and platforms and associated facilities.
Petrofac submitted the lowest commercial engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) bid out of
eight competing companies on the 5 November deadline.
Adma-Opco has tendered four separate packages for the Sarb field, located 120 kilometres to the
northwest of Abu Dhabi city.
The fourth and largest package, covering the oil processing plant and associated facilities, is expected to
be awarded to Hyundai Engineering & Construction after the South Korean contractor submitted the
lowest bid of about $1.88bn in early January.
The second package, to construct accommodation and administration buildings and associated facilities,
is also in the bidding stage after it was tendered in June 2012, but has yet to be awarded.
79
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
The estimated $200m package one, which includes site preparation works, seawater intake and the
construction of a jetty, was awarded to Geneva-registered Archirodon in July 2012.
The project forms part of Adma-Opco’s plan to add 300,000 barrels a day (b/d) of production capacity
from four new offshore fields, with about 100,000 b/d coming from Sarb.
Adma-Opco is majority-owned by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), with minority stakes held by
the UK’s BP, France’s Total and Japan Oil Development Company (Jodco).
Petrofac is looking to have a successful start to the year in Abu Dhabi’s offshore sector. Industry sources
say the London-based group are the frontrunners for a $3.79bn EPC contract on Zakum Development
Company’s (Zadco) Upper Zakum field development through a consortium with South Korea’s Daewoo
Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering
Consolidated Contractors Company picks up Dubai pipeline deal
7 February 2013, By Mark Watts
Greek group to be awarded Jebel Ali-Hassyan fuel gas pipeline
Athens-based Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) has won an estimated $150m deal to build a fuel
gas pipeline between Jebel Ali and Hassyan P power station in Dubai, according to a company working on
the project.
Project operator Dubai Supply Authority (Dusup) agreed to award the engineering, procurement and
construction (EPC) deal to CCC in January, but a formal contract has yet to be signed.
At least five companies submitted proposals for the construction phase of the project in October 2012,
with other bidders including UAE-based groups Dodsal and Dutco McConnell Dowell, and Indian
contractors Punj Lloyd and Larsen & Toubro.
The scope of the scheme covers a 48-inch, 41-kilometre pipeline from Jebel Ali Free Zone Port to Dubai
Electricity & Water Authority’s (Dewa) Hassyan P power plant, 60 kilometres southwest of Dubai city and
associated works.
Arabi Enertech wins $98m Kuwait pipeline deal
17 February 2013, By Adal Mirza
More than $761m-worth of upstream deals signed in January
State upstream operator Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) has awarded a KD27.7m ($98.3m) contract to the
local Arabi Enertech for the installation of flowlines and associated works in the southeast of Kuwait.
The deal was signed on 15 January and is part of a raft of contracts signed last month totalling more than
$761m, according to the latest figures released by KOC.
These include two deals worth more than $172m each signed with US oil field services firms Halliburton
Overseas and Dowell Schlumberger for cementing services for KOC’s drilling and workover operations.
Two smaller contracts valued at $120m each were awarded to Canada’s BJ Services Company and the
local National Petroleum Services Company (Napesco).
80
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
Arabi Enertech will build a series of six-inch flowlines that will transport crude oil, water and waste from
drilling wells to oil and gas gathering centres across South East Kuwait by the end of 2016.
The company was also awarded a $59.2m contract for the construction of high-pressure flowlines at
Kuwait’s northern Jurassic wells, as part of KOC’s $400m worth of deals in December.
KOC signed a total of $3.6bn of upstream contracts in 2012 covering oil field services, engineering,
procurement and construction and support services. This was up from $2.6bn in 2011, but significantly
below Kuwait’s high of $11.6bn in 2010.

EmiratesLNG signs lease deal for Fujairah terminal
(Staff Report) / 25 February 2013
ABU DHABI - EmiratesLNG has signed a lease agreement for 260,000 square metres of land from the
Government of Fujairah to accommodate its planned LNG import terminal and regasification facility. The
land is located adjacent to the ESC (Emirates SembCorp) power and desalination plant at Qidfa.
A 50:50 joint venture between Mubadala Petroleum and IPIC, EmiratesLNG will begin construction of its
LNG import terminal later this year, after the necessary approval processes. Formed as a strategic
venture, aligned with Abu Dhabi’s Vision 2030, the company will provide a reliable source of clean,
efficient energy to the UAE.
The Government of Fujairah will also reclaim a portion of land from the sea off the East Coast where
EmiratesLNG will construct an LNG regasification terminal capable of handling the largest LNG carriers.
82
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
“This is an important milestone for EmiratesLNG,” said Ahmed Matar Al Mazrouei, chief executive,
EmiratesLNG.
“When completed we anticipate that the EmiratesLNG facility will have the capacity to import nine million
tonnes per annum of LNG to help fuel the growing energy demands of the UAE economy. We will continue
to work closely with the Government of Fujairah throughout construction and operations and I would like
to express my gratitude to the Government of the UAE, the Government of Abu Dhabi and the
Government of Fujairah for their unwavering support of this strategic UAE initiative.”
EmiratesLNG’s phase 1 is expected to be commissioned in two years’ time, and the Port of Fujairah will
see a significant increase in business activity in line with LNG deliveries. The construction and subsequent
operations of the terminal will also see considerable job opportunities in Fujairah.
Upon completion of phase 2, EmiratesLNG will import LNG cargo from the global market, with the
capacity to supply 1.2 billion cubic feet per day of clean, efficient natural gas to the UAE. This will
primarily be used for power generation, to meet with rapidly growing demand from the local market.

Oman tenders water treatment plant contract
25 February 2013, 13:00 GMT | By Andrew Roscoe
Work will involve building plant at Wadi Dayqah
Oman’s Public Authority for Electricity & Water (PAEW) has invited bids for the contract to build a water
treatment plant at Wadi Dayqah dam, located in the Wilayat Qurayyat in Muscat.
Contractors have until 1 April to submit bids for the contract. The project is the latest water project that
the sultanate has tendered in the last year. In February, a consortium led Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation
signed a contract to develop an independent water project (IWP) at Ghubrah, located in the Muscat
governorate.
Sumitomo, along with Spain’s Cadagua and Malaysia’s Malakoff International, signed the contract on 11
February to establish a project company that will obtain a licence to build, own and operate (BOO) the 42
million gallon-a-day plant. Sumitomo and Malakoff will each have a 45 per cent holding in the project,
with Cadagua holding the remainder.
Demand for water in the sultanate increased at a faster rate than anticipated in 2012, prompting the
PAEW to revise the capacity building plans for water projects. In June, PAEW awarded the local Galfar
Engineering & Contracting a RO24m ($62.2m) contract to build a water distribution network in the
wilayat of Nizwa in Al-Dakhiliya governorate.
Saudi Aramco to award Samsung Engineering Riyadh refinery project
25 February 2013, 12:58 GMT | By Kevin Baxter
83
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
South Korean contractor Samsung Engineering set to sign deal for clean fuels scheme
Saudi Aramco is on the verge of awarding South Korea’s Samsung Engineering the engineering,
procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the $200m Clean Transportation Fuels Project (CTFP) at
its Riyadh refinery.
MEED reported in early January that only four contractors were left in the running for the scheme.
“Samsung Engineering is the hot favourite for this project now and I think Aramco will make an award
shortly,” says an oil and gas source based in Saudi Arabia. “They have taken their time to make a
decision, but Samsung is leading at this point.”
Samsung Engineering declined to comment when contacted by MEED, citing a confidentiality agreement.
The scope of works includes new isomerisation, naphtha-splitting and sulphur guard-bed units, as well as
a diesel hydrotreater reactors. Other work includes the debottlenecking of the hydrocracker and gas
concentration units, and replacement of crude and vacuum distillation tower internals.
MEED reported in July 2011 that the US’ Foster Wheeler had been awarded the front-end engineering and
design (feed) for the project.
Aramco has initiated several similar clean fuels schemes at its domestic wholly owned and joint-venture
refineries, including its facilities at Ras Tanura, Yanbu and Rabigh. The schemes are part of Aramco’s fuel
quality plans, which aim to cut air pollution by supplying ultra-low sulphur diesel for domestic use.
This involves lowering the sulphur content in diesel for transportation to 10 parts a million. This will bring
the kingdom’s fuel in line with international standards. Aramco is looking to reduce sulphur in its diesel
by 95 per cent by 2016.
Dubai Airports invites bids from retailers
(Staff Report) / 22 February 2013
Dubai Airports is inviting bids from specialist retail companies for the awarding of the official service
concessions in the arrivals area of Terminal 1 at Dubai International.
The move is linked to a major refurbishment project that will be carried out at Terminal 1 over the next
year. The opportunity is available to telecommunications retail outlets, car rentals, currency exchange,
hotel, tour operators, pharmacies, convenience stores, restaurants and coffee shops. Retail has become
an increasingly important part of Dubai Airports’ non-aeronautical revenue, as Dubai International’s
expanding network of destinations and rapidly growing passenger numbers allow brands to target a wide
and cosmopolitan audience.
“As one of the busiest airports in the world, and given the global attention generated by the recent
opening of Concourse A, Dubai International offers potential bidders a very attractive proposition. With
sustained passenger growth and our unique passenger profile, the case for continued growth within retail
is proven,” said Eugene Barry, Senior Vice-President, Commercial Unit at Dubai Airports.
Once complete, the refurbished Terminal 1 will offer passengers a vastly improved travelling experience.
The project includes the reconfiguration and expansion of arrivals hall where all ‘meeters’ and greeters
will be accommodated within a fully air-conditioned space with new food and retail outlets.
84
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
The arrivals immigration hall will also be overhauled to improve passenger flow and reduce processing
times for arriving passengers. The adjoining arrivals forecourt will be reconfigured to improve traffic flow
and create a safer pedestrian environment for all passengers leaving the Terminal 1 arrivals hall.
The refurbishment of Terminal 1 will pave the way for work to begin on a new elevated train system
which will link the facility to Concourse D, which is currently under construction. Upon completion
Concourse D will become the new home of more than 100 international airlines that fly to and from Dubai
International when it opens in 2015.
Tender document for the retail bids will be available from March 1 between 08:00am – 02:00pm, at the
Dubai Airports’ Commercial Unit, at Dubai International’s Terminal 1.

Mina Zayed cruise terminal tender to be released in 2013
20 February 2013, 9:13 GMT | By Rebecca Spong
Work continuing on conceptual designs
A tender for the construction of a new cruise facility at Abu Dhabi’s Mina Zayed port is expected to be
floated in 2013.
Presently, work is continuing on early conceptual plans and designs for the facility.
A semi-permanent tented cruise facility was opened at Mina Zayed in October 2011. The 2000 squaremetre facility has a capacity of 1,300 passengers.
However, a new location within the port has now been identified for the construction of a permanent
cruise facility.
The development of the new cruise facility follows the move of all Mina Zayed’s container business to Abu
Dhabi’s new and much larger Khalifa port, which opened last September at Taweelah. The transition of
the containers was completed at the end of 2012.
Mina Zayed will now be focusing on supporting Abu Dhabi’s cruise liner business, while its Freeport will
continue to cater for smaller vessels, tugs, barges and service craft.
The shift of Mina Zayed’s container traffic to Khalifa was much-needed, with the 40-year-old port
operating at maximum capacity for the past few years. Last year, it handled 787,000 twenty-foot units
(TEU) and 767,000 TEUs in 2011. Its maximum capacity is 750,000 TEUs.
Oman to tender Salalah Port's northern breakwater design
19 February 2013, 10:48 GMT | By Rebecca Spong
Salalah breakwater will support the construction of cruise terminal at Omani port
Oman’s ministry of transport and communication will tender the contract for the detailed design for a new
northern breakwater before the end of 2013.
85
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
The port authority is currently working with the Omani government on the project and is aiming to get a
contractor on site to begin construction in 2014.
The planned 3.5-kilometre breakwater will not only protect the port from harsh weather conditions, it will
also allow the port to build a new cruise terminal.
Cruise ships currently have to use allocated space in the general cargo area of the port. The plans for the
new cruise terminal are part of wider efforts to improve Salalah’s appeal as a tourist destination, as well
as fuel the growth of small and medium-sized businesses in the area.
Funds for the breakwater project have already been budgeted for under the government’s five-year
(2011-15) plan.
Arabtec bags Dh1 billion Fairmont Abu Dhabi deal
(Staff Report) / 19 February 2013
DUBAI — Arabtec Holding has won a contract worth more than Dh1 billion ($272.3 million) to construct a
Fairmont-branded hotel in Abu Dhabi, says a statement on Monday.
The contract, awarded by Abu Dhabi-based National Investment Corporation (NIC), covers building the
hotel as well as maintaining the development and its electro-mechanical works for one and two years
respectively, the statement said.
The project, which will take 30 months to complete, will see the construction of a 39-storey tower,
composed of 563 rooms and 249 serviced apartments. Arabtec, in which Abu Dhabi investment fund
Aabar Investments raised its stake has been increasingly active in the UAE capital. It won a $653 million
contract to build a branch of France’s Louvre museum in January, while Arabtec was part of the
consortium awarded a Dh10.8 billion contract from the Abu Dhabi government in June to build a mid-field
terminal at the emirate’s airport.
“The hotel will be one of the most luxurious hotels in Abu Dhabi by 2016. Our expectations are based on
facts that derive from the hotel’s unique design that will constitute an architectural addition for Abu
Dhabi,”said Abdullah Al Saadi, MD, NIC.

18 February 2013| By Andrew Roscoe
Contractors currently not on prequalification list will be able to submit entries in March
Qatar’s Public Works Authority (Ashghal) is to reopen prequalification for its multibillion-dollar
expressway programme to enable additional contractors to bid for future schemes.
Speaking at MEED’s Qatar Projects 2013 in Doha on 18 February, Peter Fagan, vice-president project and
oversight and programme director for Ashghal’s Expressway Programme at KBR, said that contractors not
currently prequalified to bid for expressway projects would be able to submit prequalification entries from
11 March.
86
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
Ashghal prequalified a number of local and international contractors to bid for expressway projects in
early 2012.
There are 26 future construction contracts scheduled to be tendered as part of Qatar’s estimated $20bn
expressway programme. Fagan told the conference that six major projects were in the detailed design
stage, five in the concept design stage and that a further 15 major construction contracts would be
tendered in the future.
As part of the road improvement programme, Qatar will build 900km of new roads by 2017.
Energy sector helped Qatar overcome economic crisis
18 February 2013, By Colin Foreman
Oil and gas exports provide 70 per cent of government revenues
Qatar’s energy sector has helped the country overcome the challenges it faced from the fallout of the
global economic crisis.
“Qatar has not been completely immune to the economic crisis, but it has weathered the storm well,”
said Mohammed bin Salah al-Sada, Minister of Energy & Industry in a speech delivered by Hamad Rashid
al Mohannadi, managing director of Rasgas and vice-chairman of Qatar Petroleum at the MEED Qatar
Projects 2013 conference on 18 February.
“Our energy sector has played a central role in supporting the economy of Qatar. Last year, oil and gas
exports accounted for 50 per cent of GDP [gross domestic product] and 70 per cent of government
revenues. The government will continue to rely on these revenues in the future”
Qatar is also developing its downstream oil and gas sectors to further support the economy. Power, water
and industrial projects will also help boost the demand for energy in the country.
Dubai to build world's largest ferris wheel on Bluewaters island project
14 February 2013, 9:28 GMT | By Colin Foreman
Development will be developed next to Jumeirah Beach Residences
Local developer Meraas Holding is planning to build a AED6bn ($1.6bn) island development off the Dubai
coast.
Known as Bluewaters, the island will be located next to Jumeirah Beach Residences and will include the
AED1bn Dubai Eye, which will be the world’s largest ferris wheel, together with other retail, residential,
hospitality and entertainment zones.
Construction work on the scheme is scheduled to start in April. South Korea’s Hyundai Contracting and
Netherlands-based Starneth Engineering have been appointed to build the 210-metre-tall Dubai Eye.
For transportation, the project will be connected to the mainland with a road linking to Sheikh Zayed road
and a monorail line that will connect to the Dubai Metro. A pedestrian bridge will link the island with the
Jumeirah Beach Residences promenade.
87
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
Once complete, Bluewaters is forecast to draw more than three million visitors each year. The plans were
approved by the UAE’s Vice-President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid
al-Maktoum, on 13 February.
Dubai is launching more projects as its real estate market rebounds from the crash of 2008 and 2009.
“There is clearly momentum in Dubai’s real estate sector, with a notable return to development activity
over the past 12 months,” says Mat Green, head of research UAE, at the US’ CBRE Middle East. “The
recent announcement highlights a clear strategy from the Dubai government to improve the emirate’s
tourism as it aims to be more competitive on the global tourism stage. This strategy will see the launch
and completion of various new leisure schemes such as Bluewaters, which are aimed at widening the
overall appeal of Dubai as a travel destination, while also underpinning the long-term attractiveness of
the emirate.”
Last year, Meraas awarded the local Khansaheb Civil Engineering the contract to build a beachfront retail
and entertainment development next to Jumeirah Beach Residences. The project’s architect is the UKbased Benoy
Nakheel to tender $1.8bn of construction work in 2013
14 February 2013, By Colin Foreman
Largest project will be new mall on Palm Jumeirah
Nakheel is preparing to tender AED6.5bn ($1.8bn) of construction contracts this year as the Dubai-based
developer continues to build new projects to support its existing communities.
“[This year, we will be tendering] both malls on the Palm and the Ibn Battuta expansion,” Ali Rashid
Lootah, the chairman of Nakheel told MEED on 13 February. “We will also be tendering the Jumeirah
Village Circle villas and some other developments on the leisure side on the Palm Jumeirah.”
The two malls on the Palm will be worth more than AED3bn. The largest is the estimated AED2.5bn mall
that will be tendered during the second quarter. “We will tender it sometime in April and hopefully we will
award by July,” says Lootah.
The development will be split into two main construction packages, one covering the mall, the other for
the construction of the hotel tower. The packages will be openly tendered. “Our policy is public tender.
We encourage everyone to participate,” says Lootah. “We want the competition.”
Once complete, the mall will have five levels and three basement parking levels with almost 100,000
square metres of retail space, a 1,000 sq m indoor garden and a 180-metre-high viewing deck. The mall
will have about 200 shops, including a 4,200 sq m supermarket and two anchor department stores, a
nine-screen cinema and six medical clinics.
The five-star hotel will have 200 room and 200 apartment units, this may increase of more floors are
added to the tower.
The mall will have 4,000 parking spaces and will also have a station on the Palm monorail, which runs
along the trunk of the Palm to Atlantis from the terminus on Beach road. Nakheel and Dubai’s Roads &
Transport Authority plans to connect the monorail with the under construction Al-Sufouh tram network
that will connect to Dubai Metro.
The other mall construction contract that will be tendered this year is The Pointe. The estimated
AED800m project involves building 136,000 sq m of shops and restaurants at the top of the trunk
opposite the Atlantis resort. The consultant is Lebanon’s Dar al-Handasah.
88
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
Nakheel is developing other projects on the Palm Jumeirah. On 7 February, the developer launched a
beachfront residential development called Club Vista Mare. The project includes 33 studio apartments
along with eight cafes and restaurants, retail areas and gymnasium facilities. Like the two malls,
construction is expected to start this year with anticipated completion in early 2015.
The projects that will move ahead are part of Nakheel strategy to develop high-end properties on existing
developments where most of the infrastructure is already in place. “Our focus is the high-end, they are
the people with less risk,” says Lootah. “We [Nakheel] have always been a high-end developer. There
were some that were not such as International City, but we do not foresee going into that and competing
with others. We have a captured market and we want to maximise these locations.”
The projects will help Nakheel build on a strong 2012. It made a profit of AED2bn for the year, a 57 per
cent increase on the previous year. Revenues were up 91 per cent at AED7.8bn as Dubai’s property
market began to rebound and investors began buying properties again.
The company also started work on several new projects. At Jumeirah Park, it awarded the local SS Lootah
Contracting a contract to build 247 villas, and Arabtec Construction a contract for 134 villas. At the
Dragon Mart complex, the local Kele Contracting won a AED600m deal to expand the mall. The local
Parkway International Contracting won a AED27.5m contract to build a 10,600 sq m community centre
serving Jumeirah Islands, Jumeirah Village Triangle and Jumeirah Park, and the local Dubai Civil
Engineering won a AED194m contract to build the Palm Residences on the Palm Jumeirah.
Kurdistan to press ahead with Turkey pipeline
12 February 2013, By Kevin Baxter
Semi-autonomous Iraqi region determined to take control of its hydrocarbons infrastructure
The semi-autonomous Kurdistan region of Iraq has insisted that is going to press ahead with a pipeline
project that will allow it to export crude oil to Turkey.
The move follows warnings from the US that any self-controlled midstream infrastructure built by the
Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) could lead to the break-up of Iraq.
All of Iraq’s oil operations are controlled by Baghdad under the present arrangement, but the KRG is keen
to take control of its own oil fields and Erbil believes that its right to do so is written into Iraqi law.

89
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
State-owned Oman Gas Company (OGC) is expected to award an estimated $40m contract on the
Salalah gas loopline in April, covering the construction of an 85 kilometre, 32-inch pipeline and associated
facilities.
The company received bids from 17 local and international contractors in September 2012 for the project,
which will meet increasing demand for gas in Dhofar governorate.
The loopline will complement the Nimr gas-pumping project, completed in 2012, which has increased the
volumes of gas pumped to chemical and industrial plants around Salalah.
Meanwhile, Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) is expected to award an estimated $50m EPC contract
on the Barik to BVS loopline in March.
The 157km, 20-inch carbon steel pipeline will run in a loop from the Barik gas field in Al-Wusta
governorate to several block valve stations. Contractors bidding for the contract include Oman-based
Galfar Engineering & Contracting and India’s Larsen & Toubro.
PDO is 60 per cent owned by the government of Oman, with the UK/Dutch Shell Group, France’s Total
and Portugal’s Partex owning the rest of the shares.

campaigning stating that it will act as an 'Buying Agent' for its members and treat their stores as
Godowns.

POLICY & PROCEDURES
GREEN CHANNEL POLICY FOR DGSandD RATE CONTRACTS TREATING THE FIRMS DEEMED
REGISTERED AND DISPENSING WITH PRE DISPATCH INSPECTION OF STORES BY DGSandD
Date : 04 Feb 2013
Location : New Delhi
A major policy initiative has been taken by Department of Commerce, Government of India, to grant
Green Channel facility to the eligible firms, having annual turn-over of Rs. 1000 crore or more, by
treating them as deemed registered and dispensing with the pre-dispatch inspection for Rate Contracts
by The Directorate General of Supplies & Disposals (DGS&D), the nodal agency of the Government of
India for purchase policy and procedure. Supplies from such firms shall be accepted under the
manufacturers' warranty/guarantee by allowing them to self-certify their products for the required
quality. It is a dynamic process, open at all times on a continuous basis. Interested applicant firms
fulfilling the prescribed eligibility criteria can apply for grant of Green Channel facility in the prescribed
format which is available on DGS&D website (www.dgsnd.gov.in).
If the products have satisfactory test reports from International Laboratory Accreditation Corporation
(ILAC) or their worldwide affiliated/ recognized labs or NABL approved Labs, no further testing would be
insisted upon for registration and acceptance of the same by DGS&D.
The Warranty/ Guarantee clause in the Tender Enquiry/ Rate Contract has also been strengthened by
making contractually for the firm to immediately, not later than seven days, repair/ replace the goods, if
consignee complains that the same is defective/not functioning properly, without resorting to verification
or joint inspection or questioning the consignee on any pretext or ground.
The detailed guidelines in this regard can be perused from the Correction Slip No. 36, 37 & 38
respectively all dated 18.12.2012 to DGS&D Manual (available on aforesaid DGS&D website).

10. TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGHS : PRODUCTS & PROCESSES
Kingdom Tower (Arabic: Burj al Mamlakah), previously known as Mile-High Tower supertall
skyscraper proposed for construction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at a preliminary cost of SR4.6 billion
(US$1.23 billion).It will be the centerpiece and first phase of a SR75 billion (US$20 billion) proposed
development known as Kingdom City that will be located along the Red Sea on the north side of Jeddah.
If completed as planned, the tower will reach unprecedented heights, becoming the tallest building in the
world, as well as the first structure to reach the one-kilometer mark. The tower was initially planned to
be 1.6-kilometre (1 mi) high; however, the geology of the area proved unsuitable for a tower of that
height. The design, created by architect Adrian Smith, incorporates many unique structural and aesthetic
features. The creator and leader of the project is Saudi Arabian Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, the wealthiest
Arab in the Middle East, and nephew of King Abdullah. Talal is the chairman of Kingdom Holding
Company (KHC), the largest company in Saudi Arabia, which is a partner in Jeddah Economic Company
(JEC), which was formed in 2009 for the development of Kingdom Tower and City. Reception of the
proposal has been highly polarized, receiving high praise from some as a culturally significant icon that
will symbolize the nation's wealth and power, while others question its socioeconomic motives, and
forecast that it will have negative financial consequences.
The building has been scaled down from its initial 1.6 km (about one mile) proposal, which was never
fully designed, to a height of at least 1,000 metres (3,280.84 ft) (the exact height is being kept private
while in development, similar to the Burj Khalifa), which, at about one kilometre, would still make it by
far the tallest building or structure in the world to date, standing at least 173 m (568 ft) taller than the
Burj Khalifa in Dubai
The tower and its 50 hectares (120 acres) plot, which will include other buildings, will be the first phase
of the Kingdom City development, a three-phase project proposed for a large area of undeveloped
waterfront land with an area of 5.2 km² (56 million square feet, or 2 square miles). It was originally
planned to cover 23 km² (8.9 square miles) and cost SR100 billion. The area is located roughly 20 km
(12 mi) north of the port city of Jeddah. Kingdom City was designed by HOK Architects, and it is
estimated that it will cost at least US$20 billion (SR75 billion) and take around 10 years to build. It will
essentially become a new district of Jeddah. The second phase of the project will be all the infrastructure
development needed to support the city, and the third phase has not yet been disclosed. The focal point
of the development, Kingdom Tower's primary purpose will be to house a Four Seasons hotel, Four
Seasons serviced apartments, Class A office space, and luxury condominiums; it will also have the
world’s highest observatory. Although the Kingdom City plot is nearly isolated from the current urban
core of Jeddah, northward is generally considered the direction in which the fast growing city will spread
in the future. Regardless of this, no land tracts of such size were available closer to the city, anyway.
The tower is being designed primarily by Chicago-based architect Adrian Smith of Adrian Smith + Gordon
Gill Architecture (AS + GG), the same architect who designed the Burj Khalifa while he was working for
Skidmore, Owings & Merill (SOM), for which he worked almost 40 years. AS + GG was formed in 2006 by
Adrian Smith, Gordon Gill, and Robert Forest. The development of the tower is being managed by Emaar
Properties PJSC. Thornton Tomasetti has been selected as the structural engineering firm, and
Environmental Systems Design, Inc. (ESD) is a part of the AS + GG design team that serves as the
building services engineering consultants.
Design
The triangular footprint and sloped exterior of Kingdom Tower is designed to reduce wind loads; its high
surface area also makes it ideal for residential units.The overall design of the tower, which will be located
near both the Red Sea and the mouth of the Obhur Creek (Sharm Ob'hur) where it widens as it meets
the Red Sea, as well as having frontage on a man-made waterway and harbor that will be built around it,
is intended to look like a desert plant shooting upwards as a symbol of Saudi Arabia's growth and future,
as well as to add prominence to Jeddah's status as the gateway into the holy city of Mecca. The
designer's vision was “one that represents the new spirit in Saudi Arabia" (Smith). The 23 hectare (57
acre) area around Kingdom Tower will contain public space and a shopping mall, as well as other
122
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
residential and commercial developments, and be known as the Kingdom Tower Water Front District, of
which, the tower's site alone will take up 500,000 m 2 (5,381,955 sq ft). As with many other very tall
skyscrapers, including the Kingdom Centre in Riyadh, which is generally considered to have sparked the
recent significant commercial developments around it in the district of Olaya, much of the intention of
Kingdom Tower is to be symbolic as well as to raise the surrounding land value rather than its own
profitability. To that effect, the tower's architect, Adrian Smith, said that the tower "evokes a bundle of
leaves shooting up from the ground–a burst of new life that heralds more growth all around it". Smith
states that the tower will create a landmark in which it and the surrounding Kingdom City are
interdependent. Talal Al Maiman, a board member of Jeddah Economic Company, said, “Kingdom Tower
will be a landmark structure that will greatly increase the value of the hundreds of other properties
around it in Kingdom City and indeed throughout North Jeddah.” The concept of profitability derived from
building high density developments and malls around such a landmark was taken from the Burj Khalifa,
where it has proven successful, as its surrounding malls, hotels and condominiums in the area known as
Downtown Dubai have generated the most considerable revenue out of that project as a whole, while the
Burj Khalifa itself made little or no profit.

The large, outdoor sky terrace will overlook the Red Sea and have an area of over 697 square metres
(7,500 sq ft)
The building will have a total of 59 elevators, five of which will be double-deck elevators, as well as 12
escalators. It will also have the highest observation deck in the world, to which high speed elevators will
travel at up to 10 meters (33 feet) per second (slightly over 35 km/h (22 mph)) in both directions. The
elevators cannot go faster because the rapid change in air pressure over that much distance would be
nauseating; at 914 m (3,000 ft), the air pressure is over 10 kPa (1.5 psi) lower than at ground level
(about 10% less air pressure). They must also be efficient so the cables are not unbearably heavy. Even
as such, the elevator distance limit is about 570 metres (1,870 ft) before the cables become inevitably
too heavy and the motor size impractical; Kingdom Tower will have three sky lobbies where elevator
transfers can be made, no elevator will go from the bottom to the highest occupied floor. No official floor
count has been given, however Smith stated in a television interview that it will be about 50 floors over
the Burj Khalifa, which has 163 occupied floors, leading to the inference that Kingdom Tower will have
well over 200 floors. The tower will also feature a large, roughly 30 m (98 ft) diameter outdoor balcony,
known as the sky terrace, on one side of the building for private use by the penthouse floor at level 157;
it is not the observation deck. It was originally intended to be a helipad, but it was revealed to be an
unsuitable landing environment by helicopter pilots. The building's large notches will also serve as shaded
terraces for other areas of the tower and the exterior of the building will use low-conductivity glass to
save on cooling costs by reducing thermal loads. In addition, the lower air density, exacerbated by the
thin desert atmosphere, will cause the outdoor air temperature towards the top of the tower to be lower
than the ground level air, which will provide natural cooling. There is also significantly more air flow
(wind) at heights, which is very strong at one kilometer and had a large impact on the structural design
of the tower. The Burj Khalifa actually takes in the cooler, cleaner air from the top floors and uses it to air
condition the building. Kingdom Tower will be oriented such that no façade directly faces the sun; it will
also use the condensate water from the air conditioning system for irrigation and other purposes
throughout the building
Sustainability of such a tall building would include issues such as vertical transportation limitations, with
elevators only being able to go so far, building sway, caused by wind, and supercolumn settling, which is
where the steel columns settle more than the concrete core and cause the floors to be unlevel.
Additionally, a very large core size is required in very tall buildings to support the structure as well as to
house the large number of elevators needed. The core size consumes a significant amount of the space
on the lower and middle floors. One of the ways Kingdom Tower attempts to overcome these issues is
with its smooth, sloped-exterior design, which, although more expensive to build, offers superior
aerodynamic performance over "stepped" designs such as the Burj Khalifa, allowing it to have a more
conservative core overall. This was determined by wind tunnel tests performed at Burj Khalifa. Kingdom
Tower will also utilize copious stiffening materials to prevent the excessive sway that would otherwise
make the occupants of upper floors nauseous on windy days, including very high strength concrete that
will be up to several feet thick in certain parts of the core. This, along with the highly integrated steel

frame and shear walls, is also intended to prevent catastrophic failure of the structure in the event of a
terrorist attack. Traditionally, these physical constraints, namely the space consumed by elevators, were
considered to make a building become increasingly less profitable past 80 floors or so.
Construction of the building will rely on cutting edge technology, including the high-strength reinforced
concrete and the pumps used to elevate it to record heights, similar to what was used during Burj
Khalifa's construction

GCC projects to be awarded in 2013 forecast to hit $64.5b
Issac John / 4 February 2013
The value of new construction projects to be awarded in the GCC this year is expected to rise 33 per cent
to $64.5 billion from $48.4 billion in 2011, an in-depth report by Ventures ME said.
With projects valued at over $68.7 billion completed in the GCC in 2012, lower than previously estimated,
the Gulf’s construction industry grew by 48 per cent over 2011 when completed projects were valued at
$46.5 billon.
The report, commissioned by dmg events, the organising team behind Index, also forecasts a further 19
per cent sector growth in 2013, with completed construction projects set to reach $81.6 billion.
According to a new report by Citigroup, projects planned and under way across the GCC region jumped
12 per cent on the year-earlier period to reach more than $2 trillion. Early stage projects were up 17 per
cent to $655 billion over the same period, mostly driven by the UAE (up 127 per cent). Saudi Arabia’s
planned projects rose 19 per cent, but has slowed, the report noted.
The Citigroup report said Saudi Arabia remains the largest GCC market with projects totalling $790
billion. For the main markets in the Middle East and North Africa, the project pipeline was up five per cent
to $308 billion since October. “To some degree we would expect some slowing of growth given the size of
the market,” Citi said.
The report said all markets across the GCC had risen, mostly driven by new project announcements. The
report said this is the first period since the first quarter of 2010 that the UAE has shown growth in its
construction market which is up six percent to $614 billion. “This is driven by the recently announced
Dubai mega real estate projects,” it added.
In 2012, residential, commercial and hospitality sectors led the GCC projects market; with $29.4 billion,
$12.2 billion and $5.5 billion worth of projects completed respectively. Education, medical and retail
sectors were other significant contributors, with completed projects worth $5.2 billion, $3.3 billion and
$2.4 billion, respectively.
The report said in 2013, a two-paced growth is likely with residential, retail and commercial sector
construction projects growing at slower rates of 4.4 per cent, four per cent and 13 per cent to $30.7
billion, $2.5 billion and $13.8 billion, respectively. However, hospitality, educational and medical projects
will grow at faster rates of 27 per cent, 69 per cent and 79 per cent, respectively to $27 billion, $8.8
billion and $5.9 billion.
“The hospitality and educational sectors of the GCC building construction industry will see their market
share by value of projects completed in 2013 grow tremendously by 137 per cent (from 3.8 per cent to
nine per cent) and 134 per cent (4.7 per cent to 11 per cent), respectively,” the report said.
“Residential building projects will remain the largest segment of the real estate market in terms of
projects expected to complete in 2013 with a market share of 38 per cent,” it added.

Regional rail network on track for debate at global ports Summit in Abu Dhabi
(WAM) / 3 February 2013
ABU DHABI - With construction of the first 264 kilometres of its 1,200-kilometre national rail project
under development, Etihad Rail’s US$11 billion plans to connect the region from ports to borders is fast
gaining momentum as the tracks are laid for an integrated GCC-wide rail freight and passenger
transportation network that will support intra-regional trade and drive sustainable economic growth
across the Gulf.
The future of logistics and transportation networks will be timetabled for discussion at the third annual
edition of the upcoming World Ports & Trade Summit, held in strategic partnership with the Abu Dhabi
Ports Company (ADPC), as global ports, key industry players and members of the International
Association of Ports & Harbours (IAPH) meet in Abu Dhabi from 19-20 March 2013.
“The new tri-phased Etihad Rail project is just the first step in delivering an integrated land, sea and air
transportation network for the GCC, which will not only lead the way for sustainable economic growth,
but which will support government objectives to reduce the volume of truck traffic clogging the country’s
roads,” said Chris Hayman, Chairman of Seatrade, organisers of the World Ports & Trade Summit.
“And with the debut of Khalifa Port, the UAE is home to 65% of the region’s port facilities which, when
connected with the fledgling rail network through Kizad, will have the infrastructure potential to make a
massive leap in the volume of intra-regional trade,” he added
Phase one of the project, which is being developed in partnership with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company
(ADNOC), and which will connect Shah and Habshan to Ruwais in the Western Region, is on schedule for
a 2014 operational launch.
In its second phase, the network will be linked to Khalifa and Jebel Ali Ports, and extended by 628
kilometres to Mussaffah, Al Ain, Ghweifat and Dubai by 2016, with phase three taking the project to the
Northern Emirates of Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah by 2018, and including the first passenger
services. Outside of the UAE, the network will connect with the proposed greater GCC network to Saudi
Arabia, through the Ghweifat border, and to Oman via Al Ain.
A MoU signed with DP World to develop an intermodal rail terminal in Jebel Ali Port, which will enable the
more efficient transfer of containerised freight, and an agreement with the Centre of Waste Management
- Abu Dhabi, to support long sustainable waste transport system objectives, will see the integration of the
network into its strategy to convert waste into energy.
“Producing up to 80% less CO2 emissions than road vehicles, the Etihad Rail network and the UAE’s ports
will work in synergy to operate a cost-effective sea-to-land transport solution that will positively impact
environmental goals as part of the government’s 2030 economic vision,” added Hayman.
Taking place at the five-star St Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, and an annual calendar event for global
economists, port authorities, terminal operators, shipping companies, global cargo owners and investors,
the two-day summit will deliver a focused programme of conference sessions designed to promote trade
development, examine supply chain management systems and discuss port efficiency.

Located at the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula, Yemen is blessed with the most strikingly beautiful
geography of the region. But a history of internal security problems has prevented the country from living
up to its tourism potential.
Yemen was unified in 1990, precipitating a four-year struggle for power between the old parties of the
north and south. A bloody civil war in 1994 between the Sanaa-based government and the southern
former Yemen Socialist Party almost tore the country in half.
After a tumultuous 2011 that saw the departure of an incumbent president who had been in power for
over 30 years, Yemen’s new government will be hoping that 2012 will offer more stability for Yemenis
across the country.
Ali Abdullah Saleh’s departure after 33 years was not quick, but luckily a bloody civil war was avoided
and the elections that were held in early 2012 passed without any major incident.
Now the country’s new president Abdrabbu Mansour al-Hadihas the unenviable task of trying to turn
around Yemen’s economy and get the population working again.
To achieve this Al-Hadi will have to look overseas for foreign aid and the IMF has already made a $93.7
million loan to the country, but significantly more is required.
The reality of the situation is that Yemen is effectively bankrupt with massive unemployment issues and
millions of Yemenis going hungry on a dailybasis.
In 2011 the political instability and protests, which led to the fall of Saleh also massively contributed to a
5 per cent fall in GDP from the 2010 figure of $31.3bn. In 2012 that figure is again expected to fall by
two percent.
127
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
To try and inject life into the economy the government in Sanaa has approved a budget of $12.56bn for
2012, a rise of 50 per cent on 2011. Some of the money will be used to cover unpaid wage increases of
state workers and the rest will be used for the day-to-day running of the country as well as go towards
fuel subsidies.
The majority of the local contribution will come from Yemen’s hydrocarbons assets which include oil and
liquefied natural gas (LNG). Hydrocarbons account for over 50 per cent of government revenues and 80
per cent of export income, but resources are dwindling to such an extent that the country is expected to
become a net importer of oil by 2016.
Tribal skirmishes have not helped the supply on oil and attacks on pipelines are expected to cause a
decline in oil production of 7 per cent in 2012. Oil production already sank 34 per cent to 170,000
barrels-a-day (b/d) in 2011 and talk of a new government ushering in reforms that could raise production
to 500,000 b/d have been dismissed as extremely fanciful by industry experts.
The rest of the money will have to come from foreign benefactors with the US and Saudi Arabia as well as
other wealthy GCC states being expected to provide funds to the country.
Saudi Arabia has been donating oil as well as money, but with no sustainable alternative in sight it is
doubtful that is going to continue on a long-term basis.
A lack of overseas support is evident from the amount of foreign currency held by the Central Bank of
Yemen. In 2011 the figure dropped 25 per cent to $4.3bn from $5.7bn.
To act against inflation the central bank has raised its interest levels to 28 per cent, but this has caused
any liquidity that was in the country to dry up and as a result the vast majority of construction projects
across all sectors have ground to a halt.
The Middle East projects tracker MEED Projects states that a total of 51 projects worth $150bn are either
cancelled or on hold in Yemen across all sectors including hydrocarbons, construction, power and
industry.
This compares to eight projects worth a total of $2.3bn for projects at the design, tender or execution
phase in the country.
A lack of project activity in any sector has led to mass unemployment with official figures stating 45-50
per cent of Yemenis are not working. Insome areas of the country this figure is believed to be as high as
80 per cent.
No work coupled with a breakdown in infrastructure has led to food shortages and government figures
state that 31 per cent of Yemenis are suffering frommalnutrition.
With so many problems on so many fronts no other country in the Middle East has as much to do to turn
its economy around as Yemen. High unemployment, food and fuel shortages, crippled infrastructure and
political uncertainty have all contributed to an economic downward spiral that could take years to escape
from.
As well as attempting to generate cash domestically through higher government spending the new
regime will also have the task of persuading foreign nations to donate aid money. This will not be easy as
only Saudi Arabia has contributed so far in 2012 with other nations voicing concerns about the lack of
security in the country.
The new government has been given a mandate of change from the population, but unless Sanaa can
secure the funds to rebuild the country there is no hope that any significant changes will occur in the
short or even mid-term.

Economy
Yemen has some of the worst development indicators in the region and, indeed, the world. Gross
domestic product per capita was $2,500 in 2010, compared with almost $70,000 in nearby Qatar, while
life expectancy is a little over 65 years on average, a good decade below the figure for the oil-rich Gulf
states. The UN ranked Yemen at 154 of 187 countries in its 2011 Human Development Index - only
Sudan featured lower among the states of the Middle East and North Africa region.
The country’s many problems - a lack of economic development, poor security, dwindling resources and
poor public services, such as education, water and electricity - were only exacerbated in 2011, when a
civil uprising threw its political system and economy into turmoil.
Government revenues have been severely hit over the first six months of 2012 due to the sabotage of
vital energy infrastructure. In March 2011, tribesmen blew up a key pipeline linking the Marib oil field.
The Planning and International Cooperation Ministry in Sanaa estimates that the economy shrank 10.5
per cent in 2011, while inflation hit 23.2 per cent. Foreign currency reserves at the Central Bank of
Yemen dropped 24.4 per cent to $4.3bn.
With little business activity during the year, about half the country’s working-age population was
unemployed by the beginning of 2012, while 53 per cent of 15-24 year-olds - the biggest and fastestgrowing, demographic group - were jobless by the end of the year. Some 44.5 per cent of all Yemenis
were food insecure by the end of 2011, according to the Washington-headquartered World Food
Programme.
The situation has improved marginally in 2012. The Washington-headquartered IMF forecasts that the
economy will contract 0.9 per cent in 2012 before bouncing back to growth in 2013. Inflation fell to about
8 per cent in the first six months of 2012 and so far the government has been able to keep the budget
deficit to within forecast levels.
Oil & gas
Before the political turmoil of 2011, Sanaa raised 50 per cent of state revenues through its share of oil
exports, while 80 per cent of the value of all Yemeni exports came from hydrocarbons.
The government used the earnings to heavily subsidise fuel sold in the country, at a huge cost to state
finances. In 2010, the Central Bank of Yemen calculated that 22.2 per cent of all state expenditure was
allocated to fuel subsidies. According to the Washington-headquartered World Bank, the 9 per cent of
gross domestic product that Yemen spent on average on subsidies in the years leading up to 2011 made
the country the biggest spender on fuel discounts in the Middle East and North Africa.
The BP Statistical Survey states that Yemen has 2.7 billion barrels of oil reserves. Oil production in 2011
shrank 24 per cent from 2010’s figure of 301,000 barrels-a-day (b/d) to 228,000 b/d.
The pipeline carries up to 150,000 b/d of oil, most of which is processed at the nearby Aden refinery and
is the main source of domestically produced fuel. The government estimated at the time that the loss of
the pipeline cost it $250m-400m to replace lost fuel products by buying them on international markets
and $150m in sales.
Yemen also has 16 trillion cubic feet of proved gas reserves and BP states that it produced 6.86 million
tonnes of gas in 2011. All of Yemen’s offtake is turned into liquefied natural gas (LNG) and was exported
by Yemen LNG.

Banking
Yemen has what is arguably the least developed financial sector in the region. The Central Bank of Yemen
oversees the sector, which is made up of 17 banks, only four of them foreign-owned.
A 2010 review of the country’s banking system by the Riyadh-headquartered Arab Credit Reporting
Initiative found that just 4 per cent of Yemenis had bank accounts and just 0.6 per cent had access to
credit. About 70 per cent of local banks’ capital was invested in government debt, 20 per cent with local
businesses and the remaining 10 per cent was placed in foreign banks.

Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
Financial Markets
Yemen has no stock market, but the government hopes to establish one over the next five years.
However, given a lack of private-sector appetite for investment in the country and a general lack of
economic stability, analysts believe that it will be some time before this will happen.
Industry
Yemen lags behind its neighbours in terms of economic development and the biggest non-oil contributor
to GDP remains agriculture. There is some light industry in the country, with the manufacture of basic
goods and traditional artisanal goods still generating around 10 per cent of economic output.
Construction and real estate
The regional projects tracker MEED Projects states that there are no major construction projects under
execution and $355m worth of vital infrastructure projects at the tender phase, but with no definitive
timeline for completion.
Power
The state-run Public Corporation for Energy oversees the generation of around 80 per cent of the
country’s electricity and Sanaa is in the process of developing three separate independent power plant
(IPP) schemes.
However, blackouts are common across the country and many wealthier Yemenis have their own dieselfuelled generators, of which they make liberal use.
The plans for the IPPs have been delayed in recent years by a shortage of internal capacity and fears
over state guarantees. They include a 150MW plant at Aden in the south, another 150MW plant at
Hodeidah in the west and a third plant with capacity of 75MW at Al-Mukalla, east of Aden and will be
tendered on a build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) basis.
Water
Water supply is one of the biggest issues currently facing Yemen. The capital, Sanaa, may run out of
water supplies by 2020, becoming the first capital city in the world to do so.
Meanwhile, only 17 per cent of the country’s rural population has access to safe water supplies and some
20-40 per cent of all the country’s water is used to grow the mildly narcotic qat leaf, which is so
intimately associated with the country.
The World Bank is working with the Yemeni government on a series of water projects, but a radical
realignment of government priorities is needed to keep the country’s supply above critically low levels.

EXPORT PROMOTION ACITIVITIES:
The competent authority has now decided that FIEO and ITPO will henceforth be treated as eligible
grantee organizations for reimbursement MDA grants to the exporters who are also the members of other
EPCs etc. and participating in the events organized/sponsored by FIEO and ITPO. However, for this
purpose FIEO and ITPO will obtain a ‘NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE’ as per the Annexure from the

ANNEXURE-III
SCREENING COMMITTEE- GUIDELINES
Objectives
The objective of screening by the Screening Committee is to assess the suitability of an Indian engineering
contracting company from all points of view- technical, financial and managerial competence- before it is
allowed to participate in tenders for overseas construction engineering contracts (civil/ electro-mechanical
etc.).
Screening Committee approval is generally accorded selectively for activities for which applicant
companies have established capability in one or more of the following construction engineering activities
involving:
i.
Dams, canals, irrigation works, tunnels and earthworks.
ii.
Roads, bridges, flyovers, airports.
iii.
Water and sewage treatment plants, pipelines.
iv.
Buildings including commercial and factory complexes, hotels, schools and hospitals.
v.
Special foundations and structural works, docks and sea water works/ports.
vi.
Electrification, air-conditioning and utilities.
vii.
Any other structure, infrastructure, utility or activity to be determined by the Screening
Committee.
viii.
General contractors with capabilities in combination of two or more areas in the above range
of activities.
Scope
The coverage of Screening Committee includes all companies wishing to undertake overseas construction
engineering projects involving design, construction, erection and/or commissioning. Indian companies
wishing to export project construction items or consultancy services are outside the purview of the
Screening Committee.
Types of Clearance
Clearance may be accorded to an applicant company for one or more of the following:
i.
Prime Contractor
or
ii.
Sub Contractor to a Foreign Contracting Company or
iii.
Sub Contractor to Indian Company
The clearance may be given either on a specific value basis or for regular overseas operations, depending
on the track record within the country, financial position, management expertise and in-house capability.
Minimum Criteria:
Contractors are normally expected to fulfill following requirements before they can gain approval of
the Screening Committee.
i)
company should be a member of Project EPC.
ii)
company should be a limited company - either private limited or public limited or a
Government undertaking/department
iii)

* An applicant company being considered as Prime-contractor should have a minimum experience of 10
years, in undertaking some comparable type of works in India. Similarly in case of Sub contractor to
Foreign Prime-contractor the minimum experience should be 7 years. In the case of a Sub-contractor to
an Indian Prime-Contractor, the experience in the line of activity in India should be a minimum of 3
years.
iv)
In respect of newly formed firms/companies, joint-ventures or SPV’s created with a view to
undertaking and executing overseas projects, the criteria for any one of the Indian or overseas
constituents / partners would form the basis for granting approvals
Screening Procedure:
Applications from applicant company should be submitted in 12 copies in the prescribed form, allowing
for a 4 weeks time for decision so as to enable receipt of reports from company’s bankers on the standing
credit worthiness and dealings and also to enable suitable appraisal. PEPC will scrutinise and supplement
data to the extent necessary to make the facts complete and ensure that the applications reach the
Committee Members atleast 10 days before the scheduled date of the meeting.
Screening Committee accords clearance after taking into account the following factors:
i)
Constitution of Board of Directors of a company including the qualifications, background and
experience of directors;
ii) Track record of a company regarding projects executed in India and overseas, as also the nature
of works undertaken. Particular emphasis is placed on record of timely completion; and value of
single largest contract executed;
iii) Exposure of a company’s management and personnel in dealing with international organisations,
and in executing works to international specifications. This is of particular relevance if the
company seeks clearance as Sub-contractor to a foreign company (from a third country);
iv) Qualifications and experience of key-personnel currently in full - time employment of company.
v) Financial position of a company, including contingent liability and bank loans as a proportion to
the net-worth; and paid up capital;
vi) Approach to international marketing and information systems. Ability of the company to furnish
information required by institutions, from time to time.
vii) The plant and machinery owned by the company, the nature and size of which would
commensurate with the volume of business proposed to be undertaken.
Though these
equipments may not be of use overseas, considering their unsuitability to the job proposed, this
factor will give the Committee an idea of the applicant company’s status in the business and his
familiarity in handling equipment, a factor that is very important for the purpose of deciding his
suitability for undertaking contracts overseas.
These are broad criteria for approval of companies. However, the Screening Committee in its
discretion may approve a particular company to take up jobs abroad or renew the approval.
Validity of Clearance:
Clearance accorded by the Screening Committee is valid for a period of three years after which company
must approach Screening Committee afresh.
Renewal applications shall have to be submitted in the prescribed format for clearance by the Screening
Committee of the Council.
Review of Companies already screened
Review occurs in the following situations:
i)
Those seeking change in status (e.g. from Sub-contractor to Prime-contractor or from one-shot to
regular)
139
Global Project Opportunities: March, 2013
ii) Companies whose guarantees have been invoked, or where recurring disputes have arisen either
with clients or with Sub-contractors, leading to litigation etc.
iii) Company whose management/ownership has undergone major change since the date of original
approval.
For the above, PEPC works out a procedure for obtaining information from their members on a
quarterly basis.
In case of adverse reports about a screened firm reported to the Screening Committee by any of
its members, the Screening Committee will be entitled to take such action as it may deem fit
including reduction in value limits approved or de-listing from the approved list.
Quorum of the Meeting:
Three members shall be the quorum of Meeting of the Screening Committee provided the three members
shall include one member representing Government Department, one representing Financial Institution
and one from industry.
Presence of Company’s representative :
The committee may ask the applicant company to depute its representative at the meeting for
clarifications or the company may depute its representative with the permission of the Committee.
PROCEDURES FOR PROJECT EXPORTS – CONSULTANCY SERVICES
Under the procedures prescribed in the Project Export Manual, consultancy projects to be undertaken by
Indian Consultancy Organizations are required to be approved by a Competent Authority, both at pretender and post tender stages. If the consultancy contract is for less than Rs. 5 crore, then these
clearances have to be obtained from the respective Authorized Dealer of foreign exchange and if the
value of the contract is between Rs. 5 crore and Rs.10 crore, then the approval is required from Exim
Bank. If it exceeds Rs. 10 crore, the approval is to be obtained from the Working Group consisting of
members form Exim Bank, RBI, ECGC and the Authorized Dealer/Commercial Bank of the Consultant.
The requirement of getting prior clearance from the concerned authorities for such consultancy contracts
which are on cash basis and are with the Overseas Government Agencies and are also funded by
